Hello
I've been a Wine user for a long time alreadey, since all Wine could do was running winesweper very slowly ;)
I'd like to propose a feature that could be implemented in Wine.
Wine does not implement all Windows APIs (yet ;)) and big parts of existing implementations are only stubs. Therefore, it could be usefull if Wine would be able to detect when a program tries to use a DLL that is not implememnted, but is easily available for download. .NET, MSXML, VCRUN* comes in mind. Instead of just failing, Wine could offer advice to the user how to deal with that.
This could also help with APIs that are mostly stubbed, work for some use cases, but are expected to fail in other - they could detect if an app is trying to use unsuported case and take action.
